After a LOT of time without hearing of Loki, today he came back to me with a pretty nice advice. I was having a really bad time, people always assuming I'm not doing my job properly because I'm working my way instead of theirs. I started to think I was utterly useless. And then I heard clearly:

"People will always try and tell you how you're supposed to live your own goddamn life, but at the end of the day It's only on you. Do whatever you want with it. Also, why the fuck would you even listen to these assholes?"

I was worried for nothing. He's right: it's my life and I gotta do my job on my own way. If it's done, who cares how is it done? Right?

Me: Cleansing my altars

Hades: Thank you

Aphrodite: Thanks sweetie

Loki: Fuck you I’m not thanking you

Loki has a tough week apparently.

[elderflowercrown]

What most Christians mean when they say God has a plan for them: I’m confident that everything will turn out for the better thanks to my loving Creator!

What Lokeans mean when they say their god has plans for them: I have glimpsed the dread shape of my future in the swirling mists and I am rightfully Afraid™.

Being a Lokean pagan, a summary

Me: My God, no D:

Loki: Your God, yes c:

Remember that one time Loki caused the end of the world? Insincere apologies are in order.

Other Lokeans: Lays out beautiful altar, makes beautiful meals to give to Loki Me: Here have one of my chips you fucker

Loki-God of Mischief, Fire and Tricks

“I am not going to make you fear me - that would be too easy. But to make you love me? That would be a far greater and more enjoyable challenge.” Loki (via lokeanrose)

[backyardpoet]

When you pour out your libation to the god of chaos,

Be sure that every drop goes down your throat

Offer him your drunkenness,

Your wayward, strange compulsions

The wanton sprites of personality

That you only let out in the dark

They can’t bother him

As they irk the mundane world

Indeed, they are pleasing

As the smell of incense

[logun-vakt-maga-lokison]

So, this illustration is really powerful to me. I can’t stop looking at it. I’m struggling not to cry, and clutching this stone that I associated with Sigyn just this morning . It conveys so much of their agony. It hurts me.

Illustration of Sigyn and Loki by John Egerkrans in the book Norse Gods.

Okay, I have to say a thing: Can I just… I’m literally trying not to cry. Someone abusive in my past was obsessed with Sigyn, but reduced her, like Marvel, to a nitwit who blindly loved Loki regardless of transgressions and emotional abuse, as she so often idolized with so many of the relationships she sought to imitate and force onto her… targets. This, I feel, brings so much more life to the Goddess of Fidelity . The agony in this illustration. You do not blindly do this shit for someone you don’t truly care for. True Fidelity must be earned, not gained through tricks. Blind faith in abusers is sickness and dependency, not fidelity and loyalty. Fidelity and loyalty is earned through hard work and built upon trust. Trusting a trickster sounds foolish, but you don’t eternally hold a bowl to save your lover as best you can from agony without them truly deserving it. I’m not saying much on Loki here, aside from I believe he is a god of change, not evil, or malice, or any of the other cruel insults wrought in misunderstanding. People who fear the change, and the other, and the odd might call it evil, but it’s a necessary part of life. The cycle of life, death, and rebirth. You can try to hold it off as long as you can, but the rot that forms will be worse than the cleansing fire of change. This is the principle I live by.

Throwback to that one time Loki wagered his head that the dwarves couldn’t forge some sick gifts for the gods and when they did, they were like, “Cool, man, the gods love our sick gifts; off with your head.”

And Loki went, “Fine. A deal’s a deal, I guess.”

But when the dwarves leaned in to chop off Loki’s head, he held up his hands and went, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, my dudes—I said you could have my head; I didn’t say anything about my neck.”

And then the dwarves were like, “What the hell, man? How are we supposed to cut off your head without touching your neck?”

And Loki shrugged and took a swig of Jack, probably, and went, “That sounds like a you problem.”

And then the dwarves asked the gods, “Is there any way to shut this guy up so he can’t smooth-talk his way out of legally-binding bloodshed? Any way at all?”

The gods went, “Yeah, no, not unless you staple his mouth shut.”

Then the dwarves were like, “Staplers don’t exist yet but we have the next best thing.”

So they sewed Loki’s mouth shut so he couldn’t smooth-talk his way out of anything else for at least an hour, the end, thanks for coming to Norse mythology corner, I’m your host, the asshole who got his mouth sewn shut for at least an hour.

[skaldish]

Never forget that Loki is a god with a profoundly deep love and adoration for humanity.

He loves our stories, our endless jokes, our theatrics, our inventiveness, our creativity, our laughter, our small silly moments, our passion, our eagerness, our quirks, our ballsy antics, our spectrum of emotions and personality, our songs, and our spirit.

As a god who loves these things, he embodies them. It’s written in the stories that Loki is a natural entertainer, bringing laughter to the hardest hearts and humor to the darkest times.

And, my friends, these are dark times.

So, I came across this while reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman, and if that doesn't sum up everything I don't know what does

Night-Call to Loki

Loki, Oh Sly-One Hear me ‘fore I step to dream Lay plans with me within my sleep And on waking bear fruit to our scheme I hold you in my heart Line-Blurrer Norms and limits we eschew Keep me safe in night with you Disturbed by no aggressor A barrier laid with traps for the harming Assuring me my peaceful rest When arisen once more at morning My thanks for this time at your breast

Seel Loki

Like my work? Maybe buy me a mead

A Prayer When Things Fall Apart

Loki Half-Smiler 

Lend me your cat’s feet

That I might fall with grace

And land with a fearless flick of my tail

Loki Earth-Shaker

Lend me your shackles

That I might find peace

When my fate has escaped my command 

Loki World-Breaker

Lend me your boat of nails 

That I might blithely sail

As continents rock apart

[gothbfignis-deactivated20250525]

when i am beaten

O God of the broken,

of the misshapen and in-between,

please lend me your strength

and help me to breathe.

Please hold my hand

through these times of trial and strife.

Please witness my struggle

and lend me your might.

When I am beaten and

can handle no more,

I hope you see yourself in me

as I rise from the floor.

It’s your voice I hear

when all is going wrong.

It’s your words in my heart

when I must continue on.

Thank you, O God,

for all that you do

when I am broken and beaten,

when I call on you.
